    The American/US plug for 220 is a regular electric dryer outlet right?

      Well, even that has to be complicated: there are two common standards for a 220V/30A (dryer) outlet. There’s an old NEMA 10-30 spec (3-prong) that you might have for a dryer outlet. The modern standard is NEMA 14-30 (4-prong). Everything likely comes with a modern NEMA 14-30 plug (mine did).

      The 10-30 doesn’t provide a ground, so if you need to convert, there are some sketchy options on Amazon with a separate grounding lead you can plug into a standard 3-prong 110V outlet. Ideally have an electrician replace it, or add a “level 2” EV charger outlet to take advantage of a subsidy.
